Why we founded StoneCrest Equity Partners
We’re Steve and Tracy LaMarr, and we spent more than three decades building real estate across Eastern Washington: land, housing, retail, restaurants, and light industrial. We could have kept building for our own account alone. We founded StoneCrest for a different reason.
The people we kept meeting were already successful, and they were stuck in one of three places.
Some had only ever seen two doors. Leave your capital in the market and watch it move on a screen, or buy a rental and inherit the tenants, the repairs, and the calls at the worst hour. One felt abstract. The other felt like a job. Neither one fit.
Some already owned real estate and wanted more of it, but more property meant more management. Every new building was another set of problems to run, and their growth was capped not by capital but by their own bandwidth.
And some were already building a portfolio of their own, brick by brick, sometimes only on nights and weekends. The vision was right. The pace was not. They were out of hours, not ideas, and they wished they could go faster than their own calendar allowed.
What all of them shared was this: they were winning at their actual work, and they saw what real estate could do, the tangible asset, the tax advantages, the cash flow. What they did not want was the second job that came with it, or the management that only got heavier at scale.
So we built a parallel track. You keep doing the work only you can do, and we find, build, lease, and manage ground-up projects in a region we know cold. Your capital compounds in tangible assets alongside everything you are already doing, not instead of it. We build what we ask you to back, and the whole point is to accelerate the trajectory you are already on.
WHO WE ARE
We build what we ask you to back
We own several successful businesses across Eastern Washington. We are full-time accredited investors who have lived and worked in the region for more than 35 years, with over 85 years of combined real estate experience between us.
Our work spans single-family and multi-family housing, commercial retail and office, restaurants, and light industrial, and the real estate we hold has sustained a 99% occupancy rate. That depth is what lets us find, build, lease, and manage ground-up projects for the investors who partner with us.

Values that show up in the work
These are not wall art. They are the standards we hold on every project and in every investor relationship.
Deliver on promises
We do what we say we will do, on the commitments and timelines we set.
Work with urgency
Capital and opportunities are time-sensitive. We move accordingly.
Communicate clearly, and listen
Straight answers, no jargon, and real attention to what matters to you.
Be proactive, not reactive
We anticipate problems and address them before they reach you.
Treat others with respect and integrity
Every partner, tenant, trade, and investor is dealt with honestly and fairly.
Four companies, one loop
Most real estate firms outsource the work. They hire an outside developer to build, a third-party company to manage, and a separate group to handle investors. Every handoff hands away control of cost, quality, and timing, and leaves the firm dependent on companies it does not run. We own all four stages, so one accountable team carries a project from the first dollar raised to the returns you receive.
StoneCrest Equity Partners

StoneCrest Prosperity Fund
As a limited partner you own a portion of every asset the team builds and operates. As new investors fund new assets, those assets join the same portfolio, so existing investors gain a larger base and new investors share in one already producing income.
